Official - A Dog eat Dog Society

Check out the link to the Unicef Innocenti Report Card 7 on child poverty throughout Europe and non OECD countries.
It is enlightening to find or even confirm that UK is at the bottom and children in the UK find themselves in the worst situations of poverty and well being in Europe.
The BBC report and the Unicef report (as you can read for yourself in the pdf format) concentrates on children, but what will these children learn.
They learn they have to fend for themselves, the dog eat dog syndrome, and this is taken into adulthood, so the rich become richer, the poor become poorer and guys, we even have to think that history may repeat itself of there being masters and servants, or dare I say it, slaves and masters, or a society where the weak and the powerless are simply 'bumped off', a lesson of saying 'we don't need you, we can't afford you, you have no worth to our society'
I can see euthanasia increasing. What of the elderly. Who is going to care for them? The children of today are found themselves not being cared for, so why should they care for others in the future?
Why should the children love others when they receive no love themselves now?
The family unit is being constantly split and divided. Children are left to their own devices. They don't relate to others or their peers or other adults. They are in a world of mindless games and movies promoting sex and violence and drugs, where rules are there to be broken and when broken it is celebrated.
I feel for the elderly of the future (Me!) whereby advancements in modern science and health promote the lengthening of life into perhaps an era where the average age of death will be 100 and not currently 80. That means 20 years further being contributed to by society, comprising of today's children.
Somewhere society will crash. Terrible things will be done and then and only then will the government wake up. What we need are brave pioneers. The John Peel, the Mr Barnado, the William Booth of tomorrow, who will step up and challenge society, for I fear it will be bogged down in its own dirth and mire.
Where are the heroes? Are you one of them? Are you willing to step up and be counted and pave your way through a moral minefield and win the hearts of those who really need love and compassion?
